Join artist Andromeda Lisle for a workshop that shares the cultural significance of animals in the Americas as well as the Indigenous stories that surround them. “My fascination with the figures and feelings of ancient stories led me to dive into those of my unique ancestry, with Native American, African, and Celtic beliefs capturing my heart...” Practice pointillism, apply the artists’ strategies such as anchoring shapes to build out a design as you create an 8 x 10-inch work in acrylic paint of an animal of legend. Briefly tour museum galleries and hear related animal lore from different Nations.

 

Lisle is the writer and illustrator of Spirits of America. She exhibited her mural Moshup, Hero of the Wampanoag in his whale form at the Harvard Ed Portal in Allston, MA. Moshup will be on display at the Peabody Museum April 3–17. Copies of her book will be for sale or for order during the workshop.

Acompaña a la artista Andrómeda Lisle en un taller que comparte el significado cultural de los animales en las Américas, así como las historias indígenas que los rodean. "Mi fascinación por las figuras y los sentimientos de las historias antiguas me llevó a sumergirme en las de mi ascendencia única, con creencias nativas americanas, africanas y celtas que capturaron mi corazón". Practica el puntillismo, aplica estrategias de artistas como anclar formas para construir un diseño mientras crea un trabajo de 8 x 10 pulgadas en pintura acrílica que representa a un animal de leyenda.
